Urban Flood Resilience Study

The document provides information on flash floods, including their causes, impacts, and solutions. It defines a flash flood as a flood caused by heavy rainfall in less than 6 hours. Causes discussed include dam/levee failures, urbanization, deforestation, and sudden releases of water from ice jams. Solutions proposed are better flood warning systems, modifying structures, restoring natural river courses, increasing flood defenses, and improving soil conditions and wetland protection. A case study of the 2011 flash flood in Matina, Davao City, Philippines analyzes contributory factors and community resilience strategies implemented.
